Were it a girl. a. nightgbwn was to be dis- played. As it turned out, it was the trousers that were requisitioned. Thus heralded, the future judge ofi the County of Perth came into the| world, and aa address of congratulaâ€" tion to Principal Barron was read on. Judge Barron is a son of the late F. W. Barron, M. A. , Principal of Upper Canada College. The story is told by Colonel George T. Denison that on the occasion of his birth In 1850 it was agreed by the seventh form boys, who resided in the Prin- cipal’s house, that if t‘xe newcomer To few judges of County Courts is it given to attain prominence as Judge Barron has done, outside the limits of their own authority. By virtue of its work on various boards of arbritration in different parts of Canada and his deep interest in the naval question, his name has became familiar to readers of the press all over the country, and in consequence any study of his career and person- ality is assured a wide spread inter- est. There is about this Vigorous gentle- man, who has done so much to settle labor difficulties in Canada. that judi- cial dignity of bearing and precision of utterance which one usually asso- ciates with an occupant of the Bench, and yet, though sixty years of age, he possesses a toyish appearance and manner and a vivacity of expression and movement that difierentiates him considerably irorn his colleagues. Fond at athletics both as youth and man interested still in the pursuits of boyhood, he exhibits a warmth, geniality and sympathy of disposition which renders him exceedingly popu- lar among his wide circle of acguain- tances. With this brief description I was easily able to locate the Judge, and possibly the same account of his ap- pearance will serve to introduce him to those readers of The Globe to whom he as- yet may be unknown per- scnally. . §His Honor Judge Barron, The Conciliator ’ Life. Sketch of Former Lindsay Man (The Globe.) “Judge Barron? Why, of course I know what he looks like," said the Depot Master at the Union Station, in answer to a query. "Most every railroad man knows the Judge by this time. He's just got aboard the Ham- ilton train. You'll find him alright. He’s not very tall, and is dressed swell, with a silk hat and a cutaway coat; has‘ light hair and wears glas- ses.” With this brief description I was easily able to locate the Judge, and possibly the same apcount of his ap- Mnronnn m4" ..... the following morning by the boys of the college, and, better than all, they were granted a holiday in honor of the event. 'I‘hree Ontario towns are particular- ly associated with the life and work cf Judge Barron. These are Cobourg, where he was taken by his father as a small boy, when Principal Barron became head of the Cohourg Grammar School; Lindsay, where he practised law and engaged in three Parliamen- tary campaigns, and ‘Strattord, his. present residence, where he has liVed .since his appointments ,‘to the Bench, l in 1897. ‘i solo-Ioillo-a' 000......

APRIL I4 1911 $1.00 ...5()c 30¢ nn Mr. Mark engaged Mr. Rich for a year. His wages were to be the same ‘as any other man in Mariposa was getting, which proved to be $112 per year. After some time spent with Mr Mark, Mr. Rich started on his own responsibility, on the old ‘Silver farm on the 10th con. 0, Mariposa, which he rented for $150 per year. They next moved to the farm known as the Brown farm, owned by Mr. A. Laidley, which he leased for 10 years at $500 a year. This was where Mr. Rich made his first strike, and from that day to this he has made rapid progress. After he had the ‘fall ploughing done, Mr. Laidley got a chance to sell his farm, and Mr Rich reCeived $700 to cancel the lease. He then rented the Wm. Parkinson farm on the 7th concession and with the assistance of the above mentioned $700 things began coming his way. He remained on this place seven years and was most successful. He thtn bought his present M-ariposa station farm for $13,000. then th adjoining 50 acres for, 33500 and] the Pedlar place of 50 acres for $2500 making in all 250 acres of the finest land in- the township. and Mr. Rich takes pride in the fact that toâ€"day there is not a. dollar against any of it. ‘ Mr. Rich has crossed the Atlantic nine times. He first left Plymouth Harbour in 1857, sailing in the old sailing ship Gypsy Queen. The trip lasted six weeks and three days when he landed ii Quebec. The first year he was in this country he worked 11w, entire year fer $80. lie thmretnrned to Enzlmd, where hemarricd his present wife, and in 1864 he. again set sail for Canada, hating left his wife and four children in England. Money was not too plentiful with Mr. Rich in those days, but Mr. Jos. Mark, of this township, proved it most valuable friend, and lent hin: $160, which he sent home to pay the passage money for his wife and family, who joined him the same year. The cut in this article 0 Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rich was taken at their home near Mariposa: station on the occasion of the celebration of their golden wedding oghMarch- 25th last. They are among fife oldest of the pioneers of the township. Mr. Rich was born at Chadelangher, in County Devon, England, in the year 1840, while Mrs. Rich was born a year previous at Brentcr, County De- von, Engiand. Three years later. when he was bate 1y sixteen years of age, the Fenian- invaders threatened Canada. Judge Barron was Stnt to the front by his enthusiastic father, and, as he says himself, facetiotmly: “My gallantry on that occasion and the experiences I underwent are positively startling, were they not so amusing. When her Majesty, the late Queen Victoria, was GOLDEN WEDDING 0F MARIPOSA COUPLE 1:? HONORED AND RESPECT ED IN DISTRICT The family consisted of. eight boys Thanks to the encourag‘rment of his father.

Anyone with sumcient curiosity I to look up the files of. the Cobourg , Sentinel for the early sixties would probably come across an account of a fashionable society wedding in the town, which was so well described it I received the unusual honor or being I repeated entire in the issue of the : following week. This highly success ful venture into the department of so- ciety journalism was Judge Barron’s first work for the press. He was at . that time only about thirteen years j of age. i 7A MOCK TRIAL 1 IN REAL LIFE prisoner's counsel, and Mr. R.G. Rey i nolds is now sheriff. 0113 at that time.

His next, achievement was the reporting for the Globe of the cam- paign in the Northwest in 1885. He was instructed by the Government to raise a mounted force among the hardy hunters and trappers of the Halibur'ton district, but at the last [moment it Was decided not to send ithis contingent to the front.

And yet, as he points out humorously, he was fat the time of the fight forty miles .away from the scene of conflict. Judge Barron relates many interest- ing stories of his experiences in the Northwest campaign. He tells with personal interest the way in which Contlnuea on page four.

Just four things are necessary, pruning, spray- .ng, cultivating, and fertilizing. But, you ask, wlll it pay to all the labor and expenses mvolved in these operatichs? Yes. a well cared for apple orchard will give you better returns than even the much talked of alfalfa. There are hundreds of well kept orchards in Ontario, which are netting their owners Irom 75 to 100 dollars per acre every” year. Coni- pare that with the paltry few bags of wormy and scabby apples, which so many farmers are gettmg from their orchards. But, the farmers ask. what are we to do 7 The bugs and diseases will not stay away because we grumble. and if the land is exhausted how Where does the farmer con this deal ‘? What is his share surely should have something use of his land, and for w labor he bEStOWS on it. All he‘, usually gets is a little wood and 3 few bags of won scabby, twisted apples which W111 scarcely eat. contained most of its virgin fertil- ity, consequently artificial fertilizing was not needed. Apple growing in Ontarm was in. its miancy at that time Sand insect and fungus pests hard not found their way to our orchards. On that account spraying was not necessary. But now things have changed, by the importation of nursery stock from Europe, insects and fungus diâ€" seases have been brought to our or- chards. We now bare the codling worm. the various borers, the plant lice, the scale insects and a. host of other bugs and grubs as well as the apple scab, the fire blight, and the canker all greed.ly demandmg their share of the orchard products. Care of the orchard is an unusual ‘ thing for the average farmer to i think of. He, or perhaps his father ! planted some trees, immediater seed ed the orchard to grass, and thus ‘.t has remained to the present time. Yes, they got crops of apples and l they never thought of spraying or; cultivating. Why could they do then! what we apparently cannot. do now ? ' There are many reasons.
